"My life is better now because I dress well, I have built my house that I will enter soon, I bought Household items, Livestock and a bicycle. Had I not received these transfer, I would have not achieved all these thing I have acquired. In the past, Life was hard when it came to transportation because I did not have a bike, Livestock and household items."

"My life is different in that I now have a wife to prepare meals, more clothes to change to, and land to cultivate food crops. Before, my dressing was poor, just a shirt and trouser, no land to cultivate more food, and I couldn't marry wife due to lack of livestock to pay pride price."

"My life is different in that feeding has improved, meals twice a day atleast, I sleep using a mattress, the money received has bought me a cow and a goat which can be sold when there's urgent need to solve a financial problem. Before, food was difficult to have, sometimes only one meal for a whole day, sleep using poor bedings, and I had no livestock as security for uncertainty. "

"My life is different in that I have gained weight, looking better because food is readily available, it's prepared in time, and family has meals regularly. Before, feeding was once in a day moreover late in the day after labouring in other people's gardens to earn a little money enough for a meal."

"The greatest difference is that I no longer struggle to pay school fees for my children. Previously I would do more than two casual jobs in order to afford to take pay school fees to buy food. This was tiresome and draining at the same time. I am glad that with this money I can plan my self and meet all my needs without straining."

"My two neighbours and I are planning to come together and form a table banking group so that we can save some of the remaining transfers before the project comes to an end. When I receive my share, I will start a business so that even when this project is over, I will still be able to make some money for my daily use to avoid depending on my son who is also burdened by his large family."

"Since I received the transfer from GD, I have been able to buy food for my family. My children are no longer starving unlike before when the would skip several meals a day. This affected their concentration in class, especially in the afternoon. I managed to engage in a few investment activities which helped me earn more income. As I speak their health has really improved and I believe that they will perform better in their studies."

"I am planning to buy building materials i.e cement and sand, iron sheets, nails and poles to use in building a new house as I have a thatched house that leaks when it rains. I also want to save more and boost my existing business to help generate more income for my family."

"The current change in my life is that, I am now healthy because, I feed well and I have less stress. Before receiving this cash transfer, I used to do more of casual work that was not even able to sustain my family's daily needs."

"My life is different because I have got a companion (wife) after fulfilling the traditional obligation of paying dowry. I'm no longer lonely. Before I married, I used to feel lonely, I had no one to cook for me and farming was difficult being one person. As of now, am doing well."
